Leofoto MP-366C carbon monopod

Leofoto MP-366C carbon monopod for on the go and in the field

Sometimes you just need that one quick stabilisation. Nothing more, nothing less. The Leofoto MP-366C is a carbon monopod made exactly for those moments: when things have to move fast, but the camera still needs to stay steady. We see it particularly often in travel photography, sports photography and telephoto work, and yes, it also feels just right with DSLR and mirrorless cameras.

With its compact transport length of 44 cm, it fits comfortably in your backpack or on the side of your bag. Fully extended, you reach a maximum height of 165 cm, i.e. 1.65 m, so you can work comfortably while standing, without constantly contorting yourself.

6 leg sections, 5 extensions and twist protection for clean handling

The MP-366C uses 6 leg sections with a total of 5 extensions. Sounds technical, but in everyday use it’s simple: you get a lot of length from a very compact pack size. On top of that comes the twist protection in the sections, which really helps when extending and quickly readjusting, because nothing turns along unintentionally.

The diameters of the leg sections are clearly graduated and specified exactly as follows: 36 / 32 / 28 / 25 / 22 / 19 mm. This ensures a stable setup that doesn’t feel spongy, even when you extend the monopod far.

Load capacity up to 15 kg at only 585 g weight

We like products that don’t make a big fuss, but deliver. This monopod supports up to 15 kg maximum load, while weighing only 0.585 kg, i.e. 585 g. Especially with longer telephoto lenses or a heavy DSLR combination, this is a real advantage because you get stability without burdening yourself with extra weight. A bit more calm in the image, a bit less stress in your arms.

Carbon, 10-layer wrapped, plus foam grip and hand strap

The Leofoto MP-366C is made of carbon, wrapped in 10 layers. The material is light, rigid and simply well-suited for mobile use. The top section is covered with foam, which you will especially appreciate in cold conditions. It feels more comfortable in the hand, provides protection from the cold and also makes carrying it more comfortable.

An integrated hand strap is included. Sounds unspectacular, but it’s exactly the kind of small detail that suddenly becomes important in a crowd or on a slope, because it helps you maintain control.

1/4 inch and 3/8 inch UNC threads with reversible stud for flexible heads

Whether you mount directly or work with a head, on top there is a tripod thread as 1/4 inch and 3/8 inch UNC photo thread with reversible stud. This means you’re not tied down and can switch depending on your setup without adapter chaos. We’d say: practical, in the best sense.

MP-366C monopod for DSLR, mirrorless, travel, sports and telephoto

As a monopod, the MP-366C is designed for speed. You can reposition it quickly, track quickly, and pack it away quickly. For travel photography, the combination of 44 cm transport length and 165 cm maximum height is pleasantly well balanced. For sports and telephoto photography, the load capacity of up to 15 kg counts, and the fact that the whole thing remains stable despite 6 sections.

All in all, you get a carbon monopod that is light, grips firmly and doesn’t make things complicated. Exactly how it should be.
